583 Subcribers in 9 Days – Update 1

Thank you for joining in on my journey to reach 10,000 subscribers by December 31, 2012. If this is your first time on my blog and you want to know what my 10,000 subscriber journey is you can view Video #1 here.

But in short I have set a goal for myself to reach 10,000 subscribers by the end of this year and document my entire journey on a week by week basis. This is the update video number 1 and I will be going over what I’ve done over the last 9 days to get over 583 subscribers.

For some of you this may seem like a lot and for others this may seem like a little. Either way I want you guys to know that just two years ago I knew absolutely nothing about online marketing. I had to go out there become a sponge and learn everything I needed to build a successful business online.

Then from there I took MASSIVE action and I continue to hustle till this day. If you are just getting started online then I want you to know that I’m rooting for you. Wherever you decide to take your business online just make sure you hustle and keep taking action. Also start considering to build an email list of your own.

There are many ways to build an income online but when you are able to build a loyal following, that is when you are building a true business instead of just an income.

With that being said let’s jump into this bad boy:

583 Subscribers in 9 days:

So far this past week I invested quite a bit into Solo Ads. If you do not know what solo ads are it’s basically paying another email marketer to email their list about your offer. You can typically find solo ad sellers selling between $15-$200 for 50-500 clicks.

You are basically buying traffic, meaning that you are going to have to make sure your squeeze page is set up correctly so that it converts when the seller starts to send you clicks. Also if you have your funnel set up correctly then you can make money while building your list and then reinvest that money back into buying more solos.

Another source that I used this past week was posting a FREE WSO. A WSO is a known as a Warrior Special Offer. Although I have posted 2 paid products with great results you can also use it to post a free ebook or free video training that you offer for the price of an optin.

Everytime I’ve posted a Free WSO I typically get between 40-60 optins per post. It does cost $40 to post a WSO whether it’s free or paid.

That is pretty much for this weeks update video. If you have any questions at all I would love to hear from you in the comments area below.

This coming week is going to be a very exciting week filled with a few free strategies that I’m using to build my list you do not want to miss out.

To Our List Building Success,

What’s On Your Mind?

I would LOVE To Hear from You In The Comments area below. Do you have a question? Comment? Where Are You In Your List Building Efforts? Do You Have A Juicy traffic strategy you would like to share? Drop Me some Love Below.

Yea man I do pretty well with my list whenever I mail a product. I don’t mail too often though which I may change, I just gota structure it right so I’m still providing value. I don’t want to be that marketer who mails products just to mail.

A big portion of my income right now comes from my videos and SEO sites which I’m going to be outsourcing soon so I can focus more on list building while still growing that income. I’ll be on the look out for your message man. Thanks for the input.

Well done! That’s really inspiring! I am just working on traffic strategies and am now into product creation. Didn’t think of a free WSO but now that you mentioned it I think I will do one just before I launch my product. Thanks for the tip and good luck buddy!

Posting a free WSO is a great way to pre launch your product and build an early bird list.

I did this with my first launch with great results.

I posted a free WSO with a link to a no optin video where I shared a strategy within my training for free. Then at the end I talked a bit about my upcoming launch and I had an early bird optin form below the video.

Worked well and I got about 40 people to optin to the early bird list.

I spent $1400 on solo ads yesterday (non IM nich), but since my sales funnel is tested I can predict quite accurately how much money I’ll make as a result. When I spend any money on a solo ad I get excited because I know it’ll lead to sales revenue in excess of what I paid (usually two fold within 60 days).

I’ll be watching this challenge closely. Would love some more info on your numbers as you grow and what tweaks you make to push up the profits. Focus on your ROI. The better your ROI, the more you’ll have to reinvest. 🙂

You are absolutely right man solo ads is one of my favorite ways to get a list built quickly. I do have to tweak my follow up sequence a bit to be a little more effective. And yea man I reinvest a lot of my earnings back into more solos.

Thanks for stopping by man. You’re definitely a traffic generation beast and I look forward to your input.

It’s a goal I’ve set for myself Mike. Everyone has different goals and different resources. Most people who are reading this are just getting started online. Plus as I mention in my next update video solo ads are a great way to build a list but they’re not the best quality leads as solo vendors mail between 3-6 times a day for various different offers.

So I don’t want to have a list full of 100% solo ads. I want to have a diversity of subscribers. And I can assure you that making my money back is not an issue and something I can do with 1-2 mailings and/or with the follow up sequence I have in place.

You can see a sample of my squeeze page here > http://zamuraiblogger.com/wp/ and I do plan on adding a page to my blog with solo ad vendors who I’ve had success with and who I’ve not. for now you can have a look at soloaddirectory.com/blog I’ve bought several from there.

Yes you absolutely can. There are solo ad vendors in the forex niche, health niche, cooking niche etc. Although I have not purchased any outside of the IM niche let me know what niche you are looking for and I will try to point you in the right direction
